Why are so many of these deaths by themselves. Four people why go up with only three.

Bottom time........my condolences to the family and friends of the deceased diver.

LA Times did another short story with more details, most not dive related.

Maybe the other three didn't have enough air to keep looking.

The problem is not so much that they surfaced without him as they lost him in the first place. That's where the buddy failure would have occurred. I know, excrement occurs, but still, they should have had some idea of where he was, so they could give the info to the rescuers who were later unable to find him..

I can see where this kind of thing could happen even if everyone did "the right thing". We as divers don't like to think this could happen. We like to think accidents happen to "bad divers" who make stupid mistakes that we would never do. It may turn out that some mistake was made but at this point there is no reason to assume a mistake

ABC 7 reporting body of 40 year old recovered.

Diving with a rebreather is very liberating but that doesn't necessarily make them very good buddies. I've seen Rebrether divers just take off on their own...

So, what does the victim's brother have to do with him drowning? Pretty shoddy reporting, as usual. Always have to look for dirty laundry, even if they have to resort to looking at family. Pretty crappy, IMO.

My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
